Case Management

The JCDS case management team is comprised of degreed, experienced professionals, who are dedicated to empowering individuals to lead enriched, independent, healthy, safe and choice-driven lives. We take pride in providing responsive customer service, arranging for an extensive variety of individualized services, and developing close working relationships with each person and their support network of family, employers, teachers, and service providers.

What Case Managers Do

Case managers provide support and assistance to people with an intellectual and/or developmental disability, their guardians, and families to:

  • Discover the person’s lifestyle preferences, strengths, skills, behavior, health, safety, and resource needs.
  • Identify and access resources and opportunities needed to increase independence, productivity, inclusion and integration.
  • Develop a person-centered plan to meet personal goals and support needs.
  • Evaluate the implementation of the person’s plan and their satisfaction with services and supports.
  • Monitor services for quality, responsive, and individualized supports.

JCDS provides targeted case management services to children and adults with an intellectual and/or developmental disability and with all types of disabilities and levels of support needs. If you have JCDS case management, you may choose to receive your other services from any service provider licensed with the State of Kansas and affiliated with the Johnson County CDDO. It is your choice!

JCDS case managers can provide Independent Living Counseling for people in the Medicaid WORK program, and Community Service Coordination for people in the STEPS program. A private pay option is also available for individuals who are not eligible for Medicaid.
